definitely

Maurice Ekpenyong

It's a definite Yes! Ecosystems and biodiversity are forced to fluctuate along with the regional climate, and this could harm many species. Please take a quick look at the attached document. There are very many more. Just Google.

I strongly agree with you, because climate change have been said to have negative impact on biodiversity.........Please check your browsers, they are so many answers to it.......

Nkpa M. Ogarekpe

@Vincent Nyirenda The impacts of climate change cannot be over emphasized. They abound and are felt daily or perhaps per time. A quick look at the variability of climatic indicators time series would clearly reveal the changing trends. The biodiversity is not left out of the impacts of our changing climate. Just as aforementioned, there are many empirical articles/researches online that backup these assertions.

Thank you all for you views.
